2026 is all about cat grooming videos.
Finally putting their efforts towards noble causes. I support them.
Scientology is a grift, do not feel sad for the grifters.
It’s punching up.
Rude? To a religion that physically and/or emotionally traps people? Traps them in those specific labyrinthine buildings shown in the speedruns? In out of the way rooms occasionally shown in these speedruns? No, not rude.
My only worry is that Scientology will pull itself out of its own ass and twist the narrative to use this as advertising. Or that some kid will do this alone and never return.
It’s doubtful any kind of increased attention on Scientology will benefit the cult. Too much is already known about them for anyone to take them seriously. In the past, they relied on the public’s lack of knowledge of their inner workings to recruit new members. Today, a quick google will bring up Xenu, Sea Org, harassment campaigns, slavery, the Miscaviges, and South Park. Scientology hasn’t faired well in the Information Age.
out-of-control cultists
MAGA, Zionists, Islamists, Scientologists. It's impossible to tell who you are referring to.
That's what I call most religious people.
Someone needs to inform these kids about the Clam Engram, and how to restimulate it with a simple hand gesture.
out-of-control kids
Funny but bad idea, helps reinforce the cult mentality for the members.
Edit: bad because it reinforces the "world is against us, we have to stick together" mindset that cults will encourage already. I feel sad for the members that are in scientology and other cults/groups that prey on the lonely or gullible.
“Random kids running through our building? Glad I’m in a cult!”
Totally checks out
They're in a cult, it doesn't have to check out. Sadly -.-
There's really not a good way to reach out to current members. Hopefully this will weaken appeal and influence on out members.
They're a cult, they're happy to do that themselves, in fact it's their whole thing. If anything, humiliating them in the public like this could make the scientology-curious think twice before deciding to become a member
